Has anyone heard if you've gotten an interview yet? Starting to get anxious!!

Wow that's awesome! You must totally rule! How was your GRE/GPA... do you have a lot of experience in the medical field?

I haven't heard anything yet beyond what I described earlier. I applied for Adult/Geriatric NP. I hope the majority of the 70 applicants for Adult/Geriatric/Acute were for Acute! I'm so doubtful I'll get an interview.

Hey everyone! I found out that I got an interview for FNP, and I'm starting to get very nervous about the interview. Does anyone know how it is set up? (Group interview vs. one-on-one, questions to expect, tours, what to bring/wear?) All I have is a time slot and a location at this point--there was no other information in the email or event ticket. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I found out yesterday that I got an interview for PNP! :) My GRE score was HORRIBLE, so I'm ecstatic that I've made it this far.

Is anyone doing a phone interview? I feel like I'll be at a disadvantage if I do the phone interview, but I live in Texas, so I don't want to spend $400 on a plane ticket + hotel, only to possibly be rejected.

Hi I got an email about AGNP. Interviews were described as being in groups of three or four with two faculty members for an hour. It might not be the same for all specialties, obviously.

MT56! If you change your mind, you can crash with me and save money on a hotel, I live 10 mins away from the school. Congrats to all that got interviews.

Hey everyone! I found out yesterday I got an interview for acute care! so excited and looking forward to meeting everyone in a couple of weeks :)

Has anyone heard about interviews for midwifery? I'm still waiting...

[MT56]

billymays, thank you so much for offering! i checked airfare, and it's $700+ since it's so last minute. i guess phone interview it is.

Hi its nice to meet everyone who is going through the same process! I found out on the 22nd that I have a interview for the Mental Health Nurse practitioner specialty. Any one else out there received an interview for that specialty?

I still haven't heard anything yet. I applied to the WHNP and I am so nervous. I want this so badly and each day I don't hear anything just gets me more anxious...

[tulip19]

Hopefully no news is good news!?! Hang in there,...much easier said than done, I know. Hopefully you will hear something SOON!!

WordGirl- I'm sorry that you're getting so anxious but I am relieved to hear that you haven't heard anything yet, either! I also applied to WHNP and haven't heard anything... I wonder why this specialty is taking so much longer to inform us about interviews?
